For GlenOak golfer Madison Reemsnyder, winning is par for the course

CANTON, Ohio — Canton is home to some of the most promising young golfers in the state. One of these young phenoms is GlenOak senior Madison Reemsnyder. She’s having a heck of a year and she’s not finished yet! Reemsnyder is looking to finish the 2021 campaign strong and carry that success into her freshman year of college.

Reemsnyder attends school at GlenOak High School in Canton, Ohio, where she has had a ton of success on the golf course. She was the Division I state runner-up in individual play and just won her third straight Elms sectional title. She’s also the reigning Federal League Player of the Year and hopes to retain the role in her senior season.

Despite being the state runner-up in her sophomore year, Reemsnyder failed to qualify as a junior. With the season that she’s having so far, however, her return to glory should happen this year. She’s enjoying success as a member of the GlenOak team, but she also had a lot of big performances during the summer. She won the Northern Ohio Junior PGA Section Championship (by seven strokes!), she won the girl’s stroke play at the International Junior Masters in East Aurora, New York and finished the summer off by competing in the Girls Junior PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, tying for 43rd in the event.

Arguably, her most important win of the year came when she won her third straight individual sectional title at the Elms Golf Course in Massillon, Ohio. The win was a big one for Reemsnyder as she continued her bid for another run at state champion. The win didn’t come easy for Madison, however, as she struggled in the early going and had to calm her nerves.

“I just kind of stepped back and said, ‘Maddie, you need to calm down, you got this,’” she said after the event.

Golf is an individual game where it’s just you and the ball. There isn’t a team or substitution that can come in for you if you’re struggling. Madison’s ability to walk and talk herself through tough situations is a defining feature that great golfers must possess. It’s also part of the reason that she’s as successful as she is. 

Reemsnyder is a promising prospect who has already committed to Xavier University where she will presumably continue her golfing career. Before making that jump, however, she hopes to get one more monkey off her back–the girl’s Division I state golf tournament. Coming back from a disappointment can be tough, but Reemsnyder aims to do just that. She’s got two weeks left to prepare before she lays it all on the line.

Regardless of how she fares at the state tournament, however, Madison Reemsnyder has a bright future ahead of her. Xavier University will welcome her with open arms as she hopes for continued success on the golf course.
